Trump Backs Israel's Self-Defense in Lebanon with Call for Good Judgment

During a meeting with India's Narendra Modi at the G7 in Evian-les-Bains, Trump said Israel has the right to protect itself from Hezbollah but should use good judgment.

The remarks came amid Israel's escalated campaign in southern Lebanon since March 2026, involving airstrikes and ground pushes beyond the Litani River after Hezbollah projectiles.

Failed U.S.-brokered ceasefires have prolonged the fighting, killing dozens and displacing thousands, while complicating Trump's push for a U.S.-Iran ceasefire. Commenters noted the balance of support and restraint in his words.
